looking at doing a micra conversion (cg13), getting fed up with the a-series endless issues,oil leaks, no power etc :)

does anyone make the frames to suit this conversion ? as i dont have anywhere/skill to do it myself. :)

thanks.

have seen one which used the k series frames from allspeed, but still needed small mods so not sure wether it would be worth it compared to just using your subby, if not, ive got loads of cable ties at mine, swing round and well get to it :)

No, in a word. As said above you could get a "blank" subframe and get the mounts added on, but you would need to work with a fabricator to do it.
Ask around your local area/club for somebody that would be willing to help you out. Dont forget to add beer tokens into the chat

Does T&T need any water/sewage project engineers? Might be tempted...

If you took some pics of bigchiefs frames, and talked to a local fabricating company I bet you'd find one that'd be quite excited to do it. Or see if there's a college near you that teaches welding, that's what I'm doing at the 'mo. Now that I'm learning I feel like I'm opening so many oppotunities with the mini and other things.

hows the form lad

i ve made a number of subframes for lads in ireland, i ve made one strong enough for a my clubman rally car with an micra engine with about 115bph, and no isssues, i can also produce ur drive shafts,

i had intended to produce a kit that would be commercially available but work is to busy.
My design requires no body mods and fits straight in,

can be seen on Irishminis.ie in projects section under retro rally car

cheers
joe

Could you give us a rought guide price for a subframe whyter? I know an exact one would be impossible. If the price is good then that might save me fabricating my own.
